The Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) finalised Dublin Airport’s Summer 2026 capacity, effective from 29 March to 24 October 2026, for slot allocation.
The decision allows 25 additional daily slots, supporting competition without compromising service quality.
No seat cap is included, following a High Court order excluding certain planning conditions limiting Terminal 1 and 2 to 32m annual passengers.
The IAA adheres to EU Airport Slot Regulation, ensuring fair and transparent allocation of take-off and landing slots.
Capacity is detailed to 10-minute intervals, with the final decision available on the IAA’s slot allocation webpage.
